Yes,writing is one of the creative arts and sometimes we can write/should write without thinking about a potential market.<br />I have created a link from my blog - I've come up with seven resolutions for would-be fiction writers (including read a poem a month) but you've inspired me to make it more personal.BRIDGEThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16143306274478695558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-22918477255825186542010-12-23T20:19:36.755+00:002010-12-23T20:19:36.755+00:00Caroline, I love all your plans and embrace them h...Caroline, I love all your plans and embrace them happily. Audio books are a great way to wade through classics that are great but yet just that bit too wadesome to read...<br />And Oh, yes, to catching dead time and using it better. I plan to write a whole small book using just that time and no other. <br /><br />We should have a check in to yay each other on...<br />S xSusannah Rickardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14533371458667245083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-77260217873081023082010-12-23T03:24:17.008+00:002010-12-23T03:24:17.008+00:00Fantastic plans!

I wish you the best of luck with your writing endeavours in 2011.<br /><br />Happy Christmas and best wishes for the New Year!Julie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546678603569056691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-8908403727076946292010-12-22T20:14:22.228+00:002010-12-22T20:14:22.228+00:00The writing things down aspect is going well and I...The writing things down aspect is going well and I've managed to salvage thoughts that would have completely disappeared from my mind otherwise!<br /><br />I don't know how I'd feel about putting something like 'find an agent.' I've deliberately kept the list to writing-related aims rather than publishing ones, but if I were actively seeking an agent I would put something like 'I will send out 3 submissions every month'. Less go-getting, perhaps, but attainable from one's own energy rather than relying on other people to make it come true. Then again, there's a lot to be said for thinking big!Caroline Rancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866488027565592671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-50050738566014314722010-12-22T11:48:28.053+00:002010-12-22T11:48:28.053+00:00Great ideas, Caroline.

On the rare occasions I have written something down, like you say, I'm a bit delighted with myself for thinking of it in the first place! I DO keep a list of names I like for possible future use. Helps that I work in a school I guess - they get more interesting every term!

I used to always say 'find an agent' but now I have I'm not sure what happens next so I guess the best one for me would be to use whatever writing time I have more productively.K M Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801740095715755112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-55072364739986080402010-12-22T07:14:26.398+00:002010-12-22T07:14:26.398+00:00Yay.

I think planning is a brilliant idea, and could happily co-opt everything on your list.<br /><br />Can I also say for anyone who dislikes the idea of plans, that the act of writing things down does seem to galvanise the mind.<br /><br />Can I also say, that the year I took the making of such a list seriously, I put at number one...find and agent. And do you know what?<br />HB xHelen Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266205672947750373noreply@blogger.com
